In the far back right corner of the showroom sits the most high-tech piece of equipment
in the space: a large-screen television which can be used to display renderings, blueprints, or other samples. “It’s a useful
feature because everything now is digital, and it’s a great way to access documents that you may not have with you at
that time to keep the process moving.” Information and materials that end users may not have brought with them but
are stored on the Cloud can be displayed on a large scale, making the planning stages that much more painless.

A couple of standing worksurfaces along the back wall house tile and stonedetails, and are situated perfectly to act as grab-and-gostations while in the planning phase. “I think that those arenice areas because you can lay out a number of color pallettesand schemes,” Koplin noted. “All of the samples are readilyavailable to pull together to see the end results quickly.”The mostsurprisingelement of the show-room would have tobe the slab warehouse.

During the space’s
renovation, the site
was enlarged, allowing Daltile to hold
more inventory. “Often
you’re using slabs for
countertops, and [the
warehouse is] nice
because you have all
your tile samples in
the showroom, and
you can pick those up
and put them right in
front of the slab.”
